I spent 4 years at Mahidol doing my graduate studies in human rights. Unexpectedly I came across the works of หลวงพ่อพุทธทาส while in the library. Since then I spent every other day in the library seriously studied his works, and I must say it has changed my perspective; because there is no "I" or "my/mine" for me to attach to, I have become less selfish, less materialistic. He, in my opinion, is the greatest Buddhist Thailand ever produced. I have a great respect for หลวงพ่อพุทธทาส.
